API specs mean zippo for the intended usage. This is a 229.5 / LL-01 / A3/B3, A3/B4, 502.00/505.00 oil. All high-SAPS. Being less than a xw40, to meet API SM or SN, it would have to be a low or mid SAPS oil (xw40s and higher are not evaluated to that same standard). So...when someone says "it doesn't meet SN", the answer is "yes".
And it performs quite well.
